Finding Vacancies in Schools
Local authority advertisements: teaching and support staff
Local authorities are a major source of recruitment, with many offering
the facility to send out weekly email teaching job bulletins.
To find a national list of local authorities’ websites click on: www.gov.uk/

“Primary Pool vacancies”
A few North West local authorities (and others across the country) also
operate their own “NQT primary pool”. This is a teacher recruitment
database enabling an NQT to complete an online application form using
the job description provided and they work in different ways.
Generally, head-teachers then have access to these candidates when a
vacancy arises, however, some pools also carry out interviews. Acceptance
into a pool does not guarantee a job and you should still look out for
vacancy adverts in your chosen authorities as well as applying via their
pool. In addition, some authorities operate a pool for secondary vacancies.

(This can be found on mmu.ac.uk/careers/guides—Education—Education Alternatives.)Teaching Agencies How to get the best from teaching agencies: If you’re not sure how best to approach recruitment agencies have a look at this article: www.prospects.ac.uk/careers-advice/getting-a-job/recruitment-agencies General advice: There are a vast number of agencies offering short-term school-based work in the North West and the UK as a whole working with schools to help them recruit staff. Some specialise in daily supply teaching, others have longer term and permanent teaching jobs and some do both! How do you decide which ones to register with? Some questions you could ask would be: Do you offer supply/long term/permanent teaching opportunities? Some agencies may purely offer daily supply jobs others may specialise in permanent jobs. What locations do you cover? Which area do you have the most schools? This is an important one. Some agencies may tend to cover one geographical area. Larger agencies may have offices across the UK, which is good if you decide to relocate. Clarity about rates of pay for daily cover & long-term cover Top tip is to ensure if you undertake a long-term role that it is paid to scale. Can your business help me secure a teaching job overseas? Some agencies have offices abroad or an international teaching department. Do you offer any ongoing CPD/Support for your teachers? Some agencies hold NQT events and training sessions for teachers throughout the year. Be selective, and only register with a couple of agencies. Some NQTs think by registering with lots of different agencies it will maximise their chance of work, however in reality it can be quite stressful to manage. Remember, recruitment consultants are NOT careers advisers; they are sales people and are paid based on the people they place into jobs. Can I complete my NQT year whilst in a temporary role? You can still complete terms of your induction whilst working on supply (if in a “long term role”) but always make sure you ask the school at interview stage before accepting. Below is a list of some of the main North West agencies (obviously there will be additional relevant agencies not on this list) and a few national teaching agencies that specialise in offering supply work to qualified and newly qualified teachers. Many also carry permanent vacancies, college positions, as well as educational support vacancies. Many also have Early Years sections listing nursery nurse positions. Appearance on this list does not mean that the Careers & Employability Service recommends the agency.
